I am currently in Turkey and am hoping to get the Hell out of here before summer of 2011 hits.. I have a Degree and TESOL cert. with over 15 years experience... I am really getting sick of it over here and am looking for a change...How long do you guys think it would take me to find work in say June 2011?? Also, do you think if I arriev with only a couple thousand bucks would that be enough?? In Turkey it is near to impossible to save anything... Thoughts!!

Yes, I am the guy that wanted to get out of China about 2 years ago. I am want ing to come to cambodia because the pay is low low here in Turkey.. I can make the same money in Cambodia with a cost of living of half..

It could be days or weeks. I've known some people working PT (1-2 hrs per day) at a school, requesting more hours every term, and not getting them after 2 years. Yet a younger looking guy with a big bright shiny smile walks in and gets a FT job without any hassle.

Many people start PT, work at multiple places, and then consolidate when possible. Most people don't earn much more than $1,000 per month for 25 hours of teaching a week. Then there are lots of public holidays, and school holidays, which are usually unpaid. It's hard to save.

I am sure a few of us would be interested to hear from anyone regarding the current situation finding work in Cambodia. Personally I plan to arrive in late November/early December in Phnom Penh. I have a Degree, TEFL cert and 11 years teaching experience. Hope I can find something half decent pretty quickly. Any updates? Cheers all.

wouldn't s.korea or taiwan be better then Cambodia if you want to save money. Don't get me wrong, I liked Cambodia and would like to teach there myself one day, but as far as i'm aware, there isn't much money to be made there. I teach in Taiwan and I find it incredibly easy to save money.

Where are you now? Don't tell me you're still in Turkey. Or have you made it to Cambodia?

Hi there. I am not Mr. Kurtz, I mean, Mr. Kirkpatrick, but I am interested in his original question. How long does it take to get work in Cambodia? (I have good qualifications, no worries there) Thanks.
